Bindys Bland Meatballs Recipes

THE BEST MEATBALLS YOU'LL EVER HAVE

Steps:

• In a large bowl, mix the ground beef, croutons, sweet onion, egg, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, red pepper flakes, and Cajun seasoning. Form the mixture by hand into meatballs.
• Heat the olive oil and melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Place the meatballs in the skillet, and cook, turning constantly, 20 minutes, or to desired doneness.

THE BEST MEATBALLS

Steps:

• Combine beef, veal, and pork in a large bowl. Add garlic, eggs, cheese, parsley, salt and pepper.
• Blend bread crumbs into meat mixture. Slowly add the water 1/2 cup at a time. The mixture should be very moist but still hold its shape if rolled into meatballs. (I usually use about 1 1/4 cups of water). Shape into meatballs.
• Heat olive oil in a large skillet. Fry meatballs in batches. When the meatball is very brown and slightly crisp remove from the heat and drain on a paper towel. (If your mixture is too wet, cover the meatballs while they are cooking so that they hold their shape better.)

QUICK AND SIMPLE MEATBALLS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°. In a large bowl, combine eggs, water, onion, bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic and seasonings; mix well. Crumble beef over mixture and mix well. Shape into 1-1/2-in. balls. Place meatballs on greased racks in shallow baking pans. Bake, uncovered, until no longer pink, 15-18 minutes. , Freeze option: Freeze cooled meatballs in freezer containers. To use, partially thaw in refrigerator overnight. Heat through in the microwave.

BINDY'S BLAND MEATBALLS

Steps:

• Crumble the beef into a large bowl.
• Mix in the grated Parmesan, bread crumbs, parsley flakes, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper.
• Mix in eggs, one at a time. If your eggs are jumbo, you probably only need 3 eggs. If they are smaller, you'll want 4 eggs.
• Add about 1/4 cup milk to help moisture. Use a little more or less as needed. You want the meat to be able to stick together when you form balls, but it shouldn't be so wet it is mushy.
• Lightly grease 2 9*12 baking dishes.
• Form meat mixture into balls. As mentioned in my intro, I use a medium size cookie scoop, so that I have uniform size. If you use a scoop, make sure to press the meat in tightly. You don't want a loosely packed meatball, or it will fall apart.
• Bake the meatballs at 375 F for 15 minutes. Turn the meatballs (I use a fork), and then bake for another 15 minutes.
• To further reduce any latent grease, I put them on absorbent paper towels for a few minutes before serving.
